Currently running a Magura Thor 100/140mm.
➡ Current setup:

Don't really [i]need[/i] the step down travel option and if honest don't need the full beans 140mm travel.
I originally ran it with my Reba forks at 115mm:

Then moved to a pair of Recon Race forks at 120mm:

I liked the 120mm version best I think.
So then ..... 120mm non Fox air fork ....... preferably bolt through ..... What be your thoughts?
120mm bolt through Rebas?
You seemed to through the ones I would of suggested.
flyingmonkeycorps - Member120mm bolt through Rebas?
Can you still get them? Only ever seen them OEM or super super expensive black box versions 😕
Oh yeah! Bummer. Dunno then
Well I settled on 2009 fox F120's QR15 for my simple and they really are absolutly fantastic
no help to you though :p
🙂
I do agree 120mm is the sweet spot, even 130mm is to wandery and hard to weight the front through corners.
120mm Rebas here as well, although I run 150mm Revs dropped to 130mm.
you could try the new bolt through SID's they weigh sod all.
Is it possible to have the Thor's modded to 120mm - maybe try the Magura Mechanic?
As well as the Thor's I've also a pair of the Maxle 120mm Reba's - they're good.
Why is that tyre so close to the rebas........

Good shout on the Revs.
I have a pair of 100 Sids in their current form and agree weigh bugger all.
Flexy though in the QR set up I have.
Will look at the bolt through option.
Edit .....
Just noticed that the On One site says this about the 2011 Revs:
Updates for Model Year 2011:Updated detented compression adjustment for RLT model.
RLT models upgraded to Dual Flow reboundPlease note: weight limit 100kg, 16stone, 225lbs
120mm Reba's on my Genesis Altitude here (to all intents and purposes, same geometry and very similar ride to the Soul). Have tried 130mm and it felt a bit wandery, 120mm seems the sweet spot.
If you can still find some 20mm bolt through Reba's (there are still some about some places) like the 2010 Black Box ones I found last year for a bargain price, you will not be disappointed. The Black Box damping really is worth going for if you can find them.
Or if you're happy enough with a 15mm axle, go for some 120mm SID's. Same damping system, slightly lighter leg casting.
mboy - Thank you.
I have Black Box damping on a set of Reba forks and agree it seems a better system than the std moco.
Just need to find some now 😡
Currently running mine with 120mm 15mm bolt through SIDs, I had ran it with 140mm in the past and think 120mm feels much better all round. 120mm bolt through Sid or Reba, or if you can get a decent deal 120mm Fox.
Oh, and nice looking bike, I like the Orange frames, very nice (mine is black)
I run my pipedream with revs dropped to 130mm. The weight difference over rebas is pretty much non-existent and it was much easier to find cheap revs.
X Fusion and Marz forks must be worth looking at? DT Swiss?
What's happening with the new Formula forks?
There are viable competitors to Fox and RS nowadays (as you know having run Maguras).
Running 2011 100mm thru bolt Reba's on my Soul, but it seems impossible to determine without taking them apart if there is a removable spacer inside to take them to 120mm. Looking forward to trying out my 100/120/140 Fox Talas 32's.
